SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 2TB is now available at Mascom International for KSh 47,500, in stock at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This pocket-sized external drive reads and writes at up to 2,000 MB/s over a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB-C connection, holds 2 terabytes of files, and survives the field thanks to an IP65 dust and water rating with up to 9.8-foot drop protection. The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD weighs under 80 grams, clips to a bag with its carabiner loop, and needs no separate power brick.
Built for photographers, videographers, and content creators across Kenya who move large files daily. Wedding photographers shooting in Karen, event teams filming at the KICC, and YouTubers producing 4K content from Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu fill memory cards fast and need somewhere safe to offload. The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 lets you copy a full shoot in minutes rather than waiting through slow transfers. Software developers backing up project archives and PlayStation owners expanding game storage get the same 2,000 MB/s headroom from a single 2TB unit.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only entry-level USB drives, Mascom International carries the full SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD range with honest speed figures and current pricing. Customers across Nairobi report editing 4K timelines straight off the drive without lag, skipping the copy-to-laptop step entirely. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to test the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 before you buy, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. You inspect the drive and pay only when it reaches you.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2
Is the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 2TB worth KSh 47,500 in Kenya?
Yes, for anyone moving large media files regularly. At KSh 47,500 for 2TB, the price works out to roughly KSh 24 per gigabyte of fast, rugged storage. The 2,000 MB/s read and write speed is double what older Extreme drives manage, so a 50GB video project transfers in under a minute on a supported port. For wedding shooters, videographers, and editors who value time, that speed pays for itself across a busy season.
How fast is the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 in real use?
It reaches up to 2,000 MB/s for both reading and writing over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. That means a 100GB folder of RAW photos copies across in about a minute on a 20 Gbps port. Your computer or phone must support the 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard to hit top speed. On a standard 10 Gbps USB-C port, including most MacBooks and tablets, the drive runs at around 1,000 MB/s, which still beats typical external storage.
Can the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 work with PS5 and Xbox?
Yes. The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD connects to a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X over USB and works as extended storage. On PS5 it stores PS5 game files and plays PS4 titles directly off the drive, freeing internal space; PS5 games copy back to the console's internal slot to run. Xbox Series X plays older Xbox titles straight from the drive. Gamers in Nairobi use it to keep a full library without deleting and re-downloading over capped home internet.
Does the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 work with iPhone and iPad?
It works for file transfer and video capture on phones and tablets with a USB-C 10 Gbps port, such as iPhone 15 Pro and newer or recent iPad Pro models. On those devices the drive runs at roughly 1,000 MB/s, fast enough to record video straight to it. Base iPhone models with slower USB-C, and any device that supplies limited power, may not run the drive reliably.
How much can the 2TB SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD actually hold?
Roughly 1,820GB is usable after formatting. That space fits about 50,000 RAW photos from a 24MP camera, or near 500,000 high-resolution JPEGs, or 40-plus hours of 4K video at common bitrates. For a videographer, that covers several full wedding shoots before you need to offload. For a photographer, it holds an entire year of client work in one pocket-sized unit you can hand over or archive safely.
Is the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2 water and dust resistant?
Yes, it carries an IP65 rating against dust and water spray, plus up to 9.8-foot drop protection. The forged aluminum body shrugs off the dust on Mombasa Road shoots and short rain on outdoor jobs.Wipe it dry before plugging in.
How secure are files on the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD E81 V2?
The drive includes 256-bit AES hardware password protection through the SanDisk free software. You set a password, and the drive locks its contents so a lost or stolen unit stays unreadable without it. This matters for photographers handling client contracts, accountants carrying tax records, and anyone moving sensitive files between Westlands and Upper Hill offices. Password protection is supported on Windows 8, Windows 10, and macOS 10.9 or newer.
What is the difference between the Extreme PRO E81 and the standard SanDisk Extreme SSD?
The Extreme PRO E81 reads and writes at up to 2,000 MB/s, while the standard Extreme E61 tops out near 1,050 MB/s. The PRO uses a forged aluminium chassis that doubles as a heatsink, holding higher sustained speeds during long transfers, and carries a longer warranty. For casual backups the standard Extreme is enough; for 4K editing and heavy daily file moves, the E81's extra speed and heat handling earn the difference in price.
